Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 328: Defeat each one

As an experienced soldier, Feng Jiwu realized that the scale of this battle would not be small from the moment the division commander started mobilizing troops. He also knew some details about the five northwest horses and knew that they were all masters of group fighting and liked to swarm him.

The troops are out of strength and I'm afraid they really won't be able to resist.

Before setting off, he proposed to the two deputy division commanders Liu Tiehan and Tang Qiusheng that he would lead the troops to set off, and then mobilize the 4th Army Brigade, the 2nd Artillery Brigade, and the Huangyadong Guard Brigade, totaling more than 24,000 troops.

, to form a second echelon, it is recommended to be led by Deputy Commander Liu, and then reinforce the northwest battlefield.

Liu Tiehan and Tang Qiusheng fully agreed with Feng Jiwu's proposal. They left a main brigade with more than 40,000 recruits in the Taihang Mountain base area. After several months of training, they would soon be able to form an army. The security of the base area was basically guaranteed.*

The Japanese have made no moves recently, not to mention that there are troops from the 29th Army monitoring them.

As for the transportation vehicles, they were mobilized in Pingjin and Tianjin to ensure that they rushed to the northwest battlefield as quickly as possible.

After Tang Qiuli learned about the total strength of the Three Horses, it was not that he did not consider the issue of increasing troops from North China. The military strength between himself and the Three Horses in the Northwest was very different. The advantage in quality was not worth the huge number, so this battle was bound to be difficult.

However, considering that their main enemies are the Japanese in North China, it is unclear whether the Japanese will take the opportunity to take action if North China's troops are drained. The Japanese cannot use normal thinking to consider

their actions.

He hesitated for a long time and still could not make up his mind. Now he asked the Red Army to cooperate with the action. It was not justified in terms of time and psychology. Besides, he had plans in the Dingbian area.

His hesitant and troubled issues were solved for him by a few old guys. After the Northwest Campaign, Tang Qiuli specially hosted a banquet for these old guys to thank them for their initiative and contribution to the Northwest Campaign.

Little did he know how high the risks were. If the Japanese launched a war or provoked trouble at this time, the situation in Pingjin and North China would quickly deteriorate out of control. Therefore, Tang Qiuli wanted to thank them for taking the extreme risk.

Despite the huge risks, they made the decision to send troops again, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, which shows their sincerity and selflessness.

Tang Qiuli didn't know all this yet. He was in Dingbian City, anxious. The sun had risen very high, and the dry wind mixed with the steaming heat made people irritated from the inside out.

He was so anxious that he walked out of the house several times and looked eastward. Later, he simply went to the east gate of Dingbian County. He had been leading troops in wars for several years, and he had never felt so anxious and guilty.

Just after eleven o'clock at noon, several cavalry correspondents came galloping over from the east loess road on their sweaty horses.

Seeing the division commander, the cavalry correspondent was very surprised. He quickly jumped off his horse and said, "Report to the division commander. The correspondent of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade is here to report the situation. The entire brigade, led by Brigadier Tong, has arrived near Dingbian County.

You can enter the city in twenty minutes."

Tang Qiuli felt that these soldiers were cuter than ever. What they brought was good news. Tong Batu had arrived, and the other troops were not far away from here. His anxious heart finally fell into his stomach.

He was a little surprised. The three infantry brigades and the artillery brigade were riding in cars. The wheels of the cars could not run as fast as the hooves of horses?

After asking these cavalry correspondents, I realized what was going on. After crossing the Yellow River from Liulin, the road from Suide to Jingbian in Shaanxi Province was really difficult to walk. Cars couldn't run at all, so they were not as fast as riding horses.

The cavalry brigade of the 19th Army and Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade ran to the front of the marching column.

After a while, dust was flying on the loess road to the east, and the yellow dust was rising into the sky. The sound of intensive horse hooves sounded in the distance like heavy thunder, and the cavalry queue, which could not be forgotten at a glance, surged over like a wave.

Tong Batu and Brigadier Zhao of the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade were very excited when they saw the army commander, who was also the division commander, waiting for them at the east gate. They immediately dismounted and reported the situation of the troops.

Not long after the cavalry troops passed by, the sound of indistinguishable cars and motors came from far and near, and gradually became a sound. The yellow dust kicked up by the cavalry had not yet fallen, but it was rising all over the sky. All the participating troops of the *** division had overcome

Despite all difficulties, we arrived at the location designated by the division commander thirty minutes in advance.

From the thick layer of yellow dust on the bodies of the cavalry and their horses, as well as from the cars and the faces of the soldiers on them, we can see what kind of will they have to complete the orders they gave.

With such a loyal and tenacious warrior, what kind of enemy cannot be defeated?

Feng Jiwu's face was full of dust, and he could not hide his fatigue. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse: "Report to the division commander that all troops participating in the battle of the *** Division should arrive at the designated positions on time and wait for the division commander's orders!"

Tang Qiuli didn't say much, he just shook Feng Jiwu's hand tightly. The senior officers all walked into the headquarters. The situation was urgent and the military meeting was about to begin.

Looking at the telegram sent back by the reconnaissance force, Tang Qiuli and Feng Jiwu's eyes fell on Qingyang almost at the same time. This battle can only be made in the direction of Qingyang.

Towards evening, a telegram was sent from the frontline reconnaissance force. The Sanma troops had begun to take action. Their situation was as expected by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe. They were divided into two attack directions. Among them, Qingyang in Ganma was the auxiliary direction, and the other two directions were the auxiliary direction.

The marching speed was far slower than that of Ningma and Qingma in the Wuzhong direction.

Wishful thinking was a good one. While he was fighting with Qingma and Ningma in the direction of Wuzhong, he stabbed his flank position with a knife, leaving him no time to attack and forcing him to fight in two directions.

In a situation of being surrounded.

Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. The fighter plane finally appeared. Qingyang's Ganma and Wu Zhong's Ningma and Qingma marched in inconsistent steps, which widened the distance between the two sides and blocked his own opportunities. On the local battlefield,

, Ganma is in a situation where its troops and equipment are weaker than its own.

According to the predetermined combat plan, all troops of the *** Division left Dingbian County, concealed themselves in the direction of Gan Ma's march, and set up an ambush circle at the predetermined location.

At the same time, a regiment of troops was left behind to evacuate the residents of Dingbian County to villages far away from the county. Each person was given two yuan for travel expenses. Tang Qiuli especially emphasized to the regiment leader that he advocated mass discipline and absolute

The use of force is not allowed, and the troops are still rooted in this area.

This regiment is also responsible for an important task, which is to attract the troops from Ningma and Qingma who entered Dingbian County to the Otok area of ​​Inner Mongolia, as far away from the ambush site as possible in Dingliang.

It buys time for the main force to ambush the Ganma troops, so that Qingma and Ningma have no time to rescue the ambushed Ganma troops. It also buys time for the main force of the *** division to adjust their deployment and turn around to deal with Qingma and Ningma. Otherwise, Ningma will

Ma and Qingma's hundreds of thousands of troops turned around and rushed towards them. It was still unclear who would surround whom.

The residents supported the old and the young, led their animals, and brought what they thought were valuable items. They complained in low voices and reluctantly left their warm homes to temporarily settle in a strange place.

In less than three hours, all residents in the county were evacuated, and the entire Dingbian County became a dead and empty city.

These were the troops of the *** Division wearing uniforms of the Central Army. They neither forced nor beat or scolded them. They just stuffed two pieces of ocean into each person's hand, explained the reasons for the evacuation, and the residents cooperated silently.

If the Red Army troops don't have three days to do this work, they won't be able to get away with it. The common people regard the pots and jars in their homes as more important than their treasures. You can tell them off, but you won't move anywhere. Sometimes, ideological work

, it’s really delaying things, I’m extremely unhappy.

The common people know in their hearts that these are the Central Army. Even though they are different from other White troops, they are all man-eating wolves at heart. They are not as easy to talk to as the Red Army. These White troops are annoyed, not to mention Dayang, and the house is full of people.

When a fire is set on fire, one's head has to be moved. Did you see that? That White Army official's hands are all on fire?

Dingliang is located between Qingyang and Dingbian, on the Gansu side. It is the only road from Qingyang to Dingbian. Years of rain erosion and cutting have turned the loess land into thousands of ravines and ravines.

There are so many, and those who are not familiar with the terrain can easily go in other directions.

Ganma's former enemy commander-in-chief was a highly trusted chief of staff. He was the second-ranking figure in Ganma's army. He volunteered to take on this important task.

This man was very cunning. He first asked Ningma and Qingma to attack and entangle the Central Army troops. Ganma troops suddenly rushed out and stabbed the Central Army in the side. This was his idea, and he got the three horses.

unanimously praised.

Along the way, he contacted the troops in the direction of Wuzhong from time to time to determine his marching speed. In order to achieve a sudden attack, he had to wait until Ningma and Qingma engaged the Central Army, and then he would suddenly attack as a surprise force. Therefore,

Mastering marching speed is key.

Thanks to his idea, Tang Qiuli had time and time to set up an ambush in the area of ​​​​Douquliang. Otherwise, beyond the dupliang, there would be a long stretch of flat land with no dangerous terrain, which would not be conducive to setting up an ambush for the troops or for the army to attack.

Seriously damaged the Ganma troops.

More than 60,000 troops of the *** Division were quietly ambushing on the edge of the ditch. Below was the road leading to Dingbian, with knife-like loess cliffs on both sides. The wide loess road was like a dry river.

Winding into the distance.

On the loess slope, there is an abandoned cave dwelling. The location is very ideal, and the field of vision is wide. You can observe the entire battlefield. More than 60,000 soldiers are ambushing here. In Tang Qiuli's telescope, except for the wormwood and bushes swaying in the wind, there are even

The artillery brigade, with its large and thick 155-caliber heavy artillery, could not be seen either.

The soldiers of the *** division are good at fighting ambushes, and they are familiar with the skills. From the day the unit was formed, they have mostly fought ambush battles, and the soldiers have their own set of experiences.

The sun rose, and thousands of rays of rays illuminated the yellow land, making it seem even more eternally desolate and endlessly silent. In the command post, the walkie-talkie rang.

The Anding County troops were already at war with the Ma Jiajun who was attacking from the Wuzhong direction. The regimental leader's voice sounded a little nervous on the walkie-talkie.

Anyone facing the overwhelming momentum of hundreds of thousands of troops will have instinctive fear. Even a warrior who is not afraid of life and death, or an invincible general who has experienced hundreds of battles, will not be immune.
